John S. Robertson is the director of the 1921 American silent drama movie Sentimental Tommy. Although Mary Astor's portions were cut before the film's release, it featured her in one of her earliest roles. The plot is based on the book by James M. Barrie. Gareth Hughes starred in the movie, which is now regarded as a lost movie. Grizel (McAvoy) is the Painted Lady's (Taliaferro) daughter, who, according to a movie publication, is convinced that her beloved would one day return. The other youngsters in the town shun Grizel. Elspeth Frost and Tommy Sandys (Hughes) visit the community. Although Tommy is amiable, Elspeth keeps her distance. Dr. Gemmell (Greene), after the Painted Lady passes away, hires Grizel as his housekeeper. After the doctor passes away, Grizel, who is now 21 years old, falls in love with Tommy, a writer in London. While in town, Tommy struggles with his feelings for Grizel. After Tommy leaves for London, Grizel becomes insane because she believes Tommy doesn't love her. Even though Tommy is convinced that Grizel would despise him when she recovers, he goes back and marries her.
Scottish author Sir James Matthew Barrie, 1st Baronet, is most known for creating Peter Pan. He was also a playwright. He was raised and educated in Scotland before relocating to London, where he penned a number of well-received books and plays. There, he met the Llewelyn Davies brothers, who later served as the inspiration for his works Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up, a 1904 West End "fairy play," about an ageless boy and an ordinary girl named Wendy who have adventures in the fantasy setting of Neverland. The story of a baby boy who has magical adventures in Kensington Gardens was first included in Barrie's 1902 adult novel The Little White Bird. Despite his ongoing success as a writer, Peter Pan eclipsed all of his earlier works and is credited with making the name Wendy well-known. After the deaths of the Davies boys' parents, Barrie adopted them clandestinely. George V created Barrie a baronet on June 14, 1913, and in the New Year's Honours of 1922, he was inducted into the Order of Merit.
